I just realised if 720p is so horrible, how did we survive

People need justification to invest on a new platform. The fact is, if its to keep the same resolutions and Frames per seconds, why bother with new systems (from the consumer point of view)? There needs to be an upgrade.

1) You're out of touch with the AVERAGE consumer point of view.

2) There is more to graphics than resolution and frames per second.

3) "Upgrading" to 1080p and 60 fps at all times means lower quality visuals.

1) Its a proven fact by Psychology that people need to rationalise and justify their purchase decision to achieve cognitive balance. I have a Degree on Marketing, i know what i'm talking about.

2) I never said there wasnt, i said people feel the need to rationalise their purchase decisions and thus give it importance. These people beeing the vocal people in the internet (these are the ones we are talking about, not the AVERAGE consumer as you put it. Those obviously dont even know what resolution these numbers mean). Though i firmly believe 60fps will benefit any game.

3) Alot depends on that, so its not necessarely true.
